A little… but not enough to change my whole day because of it.
If I walk under a ladder, I might think, “Oh… hope that doesn’t get me.” But I’ll still walk under it if that’s the path I’m on.
If I dropped a mirror, I’d probably pause for a second and think “I hope I don’t get 7 years of bad luck” — but I wouldn’t panic.
I think for me, superstition sits somewhere between curiosity and fun. I don’t let it control my decisions, but I enjoy the little traditions around good luck and signs. They are comforting and playful – tiny rituals that have been carried through generations.
Sometimes it’s just nice to feel like the universe might be giving you a little wink 😉
